Sir
York Oct. 15th. 1828
The enclosed declaration and affidavit, had as I be- lieved, been sent to you by me immediately after it was made. and the old soldier as well as myself, was surprised that no an- swer was received to the application, when I accidentally found the paper lying in my office among papers to which I had not for some time had occasion to recur.
I this day forward the Certificate of the Probate, and now enclose it to you, hoping it may receive your early attention. It may not be improper to state that since the declaration, the Legislature has passed an act directing ejectments to be bro't. against all persons occupying unpatented lands, unless the fees for pat- enting be paid before the first of Jany 1829. That the land mentioned in the old man's declarat- is of that kind, and that consequently, his tenancy will after that time be taken from, as he is not only unable to pay the fees, but the land not worth patenting
